Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 355: If You Want to Live, Come With Me!

Chapter 355: Chapter 355: If You Want to Live, Come With Me!

v can still

Yicheng is just a remote town, and Qingtian County in Yicheng is even more remote, so the news isn’t very accessible.

The Xiang Family knew something, but they refused to speak. Mrs. Li Zhou tried to inquire several times subtly, only to find out that Li Qingmu is now an official in the Capital City and is doing quite well.

An official from the capital...

That’s no small feat. Under the Emperor’s feet in Shengjing City, the status of officials rises accordingly. Even a Ninth Grade Official becomes quite important when posted elsewhere.

The Li family’s wealth has gradually increased, and once people have money, they start to think about other things.

Everyone is greedy, especially those who were once dirt poor.

There are too few people who are content with what they have!

Mrs. Li Zhou is among the greedy; with money and provisions, her confidence swelled, and she felt that this wealth was no longer enough for her; she wanted power!

She held the power of life and death in the family, but that wasn’t enough!

She wanted more!

What to do?

Power! Official power!

So, after acquiring money, without Mrs. Wang needing to suggest it, she sent her eldest grandson to school herself, hoping to groom a top scholar to bask in some reflected glory in the future.

But the outcome was disappointing. Li Baichuan wasn’t academically inclined; his performance was mediocre at best in school. Given this, forget becoming a top scholar, even passing the scholar exam was difficult!

In such times, Mrs. Li Zhou naturally thought of Li Qingmu. Especially upon learning that he was an official in the Capital City, her regret was profound!

Back then, she was truly blinded by pig oil; how could she have driven them as a couple away? Even if they had to be expelled, it shouldn’t have been so absolute!

But it’s too late now; everything is too late.

Li Qingqiu slowly walked out from behind the house. Two years had passed, and he had grown from a tender youth into a handsome young man.

At fifteen, he seemed naive, but there was a hint of cunning and wit in his eyes. Hearing this, he shook his head, "Mother, let it go. We can’t find anyone to ask; the Xiang Family has already moved away, who else can we ask?"

"Boss Chai! Qiao’er is the Xiang family’s daughter-in-law, and he’s Qiao’er’s older brother. He certainly knows! A qiu, you used to have some dealings with Chai Tieniu, just go and sound him out."

This time it wasn’t Mrs. Li Zhou speaking, but the eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Wang.

She was really just making a stance to flatter Mrs. Li Zhou; whether A qiu would actually ask was not her concern.

Mrs. Zhang had two small baskets hanging around her neck, filled with a bunch of nuts. As she ate, she spat out melon seed shells all over the floor.

"Enough, if anyone could’ve asked, they would’ve already; either Boss Chai refuses to speak or he doesn’t know! I say, mother, let’s not overthink, let’s take a trip to Shengjing, even if just for fun?"

"Oh, that’s a good idea. They say the snow scenery in Shengjing is particularly beautiful, and there’s plenty to eat..."

"In winter? Aren’t you afraid of freezing to death? Better to wait until spring, March or April, then it’ll be pleasant!"

Mrs. Wang agreed, and Mrs. Zhang immediately shot her a "are you stupid?" look.

Mrs. Li Zhou was irritated listening to the two daughters-in-law’s bickering and shouted, "Shut up, all of you shut up for old me! What’s with all the noise? You, from the second branch, you’ve spat melon seed shells everywhere, hurry and clean it up! Or else I’ll have you cleaned up later!"

"Yes, yes, mother, I’ll clean up right after I’m done eating!"

Mrs. Zhang was compliant because she often needed to ask her mother-in-law for silver to aid her maiden family; she wouldn’t dare defy her mother-in-law. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Without a word, she put down the small flower basket around her neck, turned, and went to the kitchen to get a broom.

"Ah—"

She had just left when a piercing scream came from the direction of the kitchen, followed by her stumbling out from that direction.

"Help, mother, help—"

Mrs. Li Zhou and Mrs. Wang were bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Then, they saw a masked man in black slowly walk out from the direction of the kitchen and into the middle of the yard.

"Eld... eldest branch’s..."

With the autumn harvest over, Li Qingyuan and Li Qinghai were idle at home, so with Mrs. Li Zhou’s shout, both sons came out.

In fact, when they heard Mrs. Zhang scream, they had already picked up sticks from inside the house and peeked out, seeing it was only one person, they gathered courage and stepped out.

"Who, who are you? What do you want?"

Mrs. Zhang’s terrified voice was filled with panic. She was more frightened than others because the black-clad figure had silently appeared before her just as she went to the kitchen for the broom.

This skill... Is it human or ghost?

Mrs. Zhang frantically hid behind her husband, watching the stranger warily, and secretly poked her husband’s back, "Husband, this person is like a ghost, appearing out of nowhere!"

Li Qinghai suddenly felt a sourness in his teeth.

His hands holding the stick trembled slightly as he tried to appear less afraid and scolded, "You intrude into a private residence, what do you want?"

The black-clad man looked at the terrified family and let out a chuckle with contempt, "A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix to a phoenix, a rat’s son can dig a hole, isn’t it so true! With a cowardly family like yours, how could you have produced someone as clever and brave as Li Qingmu?"

These words were so insulting, but at this moment, the Li Family members didn’t dare make a peep. Mrs. Li Zhou, who had always wanted to know what Li Qingmu was doing, said, "You... you’re talking about Li Qingmu, do you know where he is?"

The black-clad man sneered, "I know, I know all too well! Not only do I know his whereabouts, but I’m also his enemy!"

Whoa! The Li family was dumbfounded, could it be that an enemy of Li Qingmu had come calling?

Damn, that brat, can’t provide them with any glory or riches, but brings a series of troubles, why doesn’t this little beast just die?

Mrs. Li Zhou cursed inwardly, loudly exclaiming, "No, no, we have already severed ties with him, no, we are also his enemies, that brat, that ingrate, I wish I could skin him alive and pull his tendons, he’s so ungrateful, please don’t kill us!"

Actually, one can’t blame Mrs. Li Zhou for being so cowardly; from the moment the black-clad man entered, he exuded an aura that chilled the soul, making everyone shiver in fear. They firmly believed that this person could kill them with the greatest ease, no matter how many more people they had, they couldn’t fight him.

The black-clad man coldly swept his gaze over the family, seeing how each of them flinched when facing him, he looked down on them even more.

But at the moment, he did need this family.

"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you because I know you have grievances with Li Qingmu as well." The black-clad man said, hands behind his back, "Weren’t you just discussing going to Shengjing?"

Uh?

"Just kidding, just kidding, people like us can’t go to such places, right?"

Mrs. Zhang quickly said with a forced smile, retreating further behind her husband.

The black-clad man chuckled, "No need to refuse, I’m here to take you to Shengjing City!"

"What?"

The Li family was astonished, this...

"Sir, you must be joking?" Mrs. Li Zhou swallowed hard and asked.

The black-clad man’s eyes suddenly turned cold, "I said you’re going, so you’re going! If you want to live, then come with me!"
